Nick Uhorchak
I have worked on a variety of data science and operations research projects, ranging from simple statistical analysis to predictive modeling. I am currently working on a robust team of data scientists, computer scientists, and data engineers to harness the volume and velocity of Army NETCOM data.

Selected Data Science Writing
These blogs represent interesting topics that presented themselves during an operational project.
Writing Efficient Code - Part 1
https://github.com/nuhorchak/blogs/tree/master/writing_efficient_code_p1
2020
- 1 of 3 part blog discussing how to write optimal code. This section focuses on the basic data constructs used in the R programming language, and how they can be used to write better (faster) code.
Writing Efficient Code - Part 2
https://github.com/nuhorchak/blogs/tree/master/writing_efficient_code_p2
2020
- 2 of 3 part blog discussing how to write optimal code. This section focuses on the basic data constructs used in the python programming language, and how they can be used to write better (faster) code.
Writing Efficient Code - Part 3
https://github.com/nuhorchak/blogs/tree/master/writing_efficient_code_p3
2020
- 3 of 3 part blog discussing how to write optimal code. This section compares R and Python, and discusses how utilizing the native data constructs in each language gains efficiency, speed, and memory usage.
